I think the last two reasons settle the shaving dilemma for most people. It did for me. But after I shaved my legs I had a crash on my bike and got a gash on my lower shin, it was kinda bloody.But it was A LOT easier to stop the bleeding with no hair. And the best part was that when the scab formed no nasty leg hairs got matted in, so the scar( in my opinion) looked cool instead of gross.
